My Cup Runneth Over

Lately I have been feeling so blessed with the life God has given me. I think I take for granted TOO much all the many blessings God has bestowed to me. I serve a God that loves me, I have a loving family that cares for me, a husband that truly loves me, a sweet, loving, healthy son that God has given me, friends that are there for me, a roof over my head, a great church family....the list goes on and on. I love my life and I feel like my cup is just running over with all these blessings. I heard this poem read by one of Justin's relatives at a Christmas gathering about 3 or 4 years ago and haven't been able to get it out of my mind. This poem truly explains how I feel.

I’m Drinking From My Saucer

I’ve never made a fortune,and it’s probably too late now.

But I don’t worry about that much,I’m happy anyhow.
And as I go along life’s way,I’m reaping better than I sowed.

I’m drinking from my saucer,‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven’t got a lot of riches,and sometimes the going’s tough.

But I’ve got loving ones all around me,and that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for his blessings,and the mercies He’s bestowed.

I’m drinking from my saucer,‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong,My faith wore somewhat thin.

But all at once the dark clouds broke,and the sun peeped through again.
So Lord, help me not to gripe, about the tough rows I have hoed.

I’m drinking from my saucer,‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage,When the way grows steep and rough.

I’ll not ask for other blessings,I’m already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy,to help others bear their loads.

Then I’ll keep drinking from my saucer,‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

Psalms 23:5

"You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You welcome me as a guest, anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings."
